MythSte Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) I've had some time to sit and think about this. And although its a wonderful, wonderful bass. Its just not for me. It dosnt sit with what i do, and unfortunatly at the moment i cant afford to have an un-justified bass sitting around. I need a big fat rock tone, and unfortunately this does an intricate funk tone so well. I would recommend Bobs work to anyone, and its a crying shame that i'm moving her on, but she needs to be loved! Also sits under life warrenty with Bob himself. I'd like to trade for an Active 5 string of sorts. let me know whatcha got. Its never ending this bass business! Specs and stuff, -Sapelle Front and back with contrast veneer in the middle creating pinstripe effect on the sides. -SD MM pickup, straight from a modulous Flea bass. -J pickup at the neck. -Wenge neck -Ebony fretboard, 24 fret. -Straplocks inluded. -very light! (not sure how light, i'll weigh it if anyone really wants me too.) Ideally dont want to post, can meet anywhere within £20's worth of trainage from preston really. thanksyou.

overwater#1 Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 No way Ste.. I haven't had a chance to play it yet..! lol Heey, good luck with the sale anyway! Hope you settle on that perfect rig!
MythSte Posted December 18, 2007 Author Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah its all a bit of a change round at the moment! I dont think i'll have any regrets, im still finding my feet in this whole bass business! If its still around in the new year matt your welcome to pop down to the studio and have a tickle!
Ghosts Over Japan Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 hey dude this is all abit unexpected!!!! fancy a trade for your old cort? hhaha hope u settle down on bass terms, still using the yammy?
MythSte Posted December 18, 2007 Author Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks cai! Yeah, i love the yamaha to pieces, thats half the reason the mules going!
steve-soar Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Have you played the bass through your new rig? Hold on a moment. Take it easy. That bass looks amazing. Remember that the bass and amp are like the binoculers finding focus on the image that is your bass playing. your tone is in your fingers.
MythSte Posted December 18, 2007 Author Posted December 18, 2007 Obviously, i havnt been round every shop, and played it through every rig. But ive had a lot of time to break it in and try various strings (a big factor!) And she just sings with Flatwounds. Needless to say, thats no good for me as things stand. I wont throw her away, thats for sure.
MythSte Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 back to page one! Feel Free to PM me with a cash offer should you desire, I can only say no
kevbass Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Have you thought about changing the pups and preamp to get the sound your after? Might be an easier route to go down instead of selling it? Or do you definately need that extra string?
guitarnbass Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 should really name a price man, also, you never mentioned how much it cost you, how is anybody to know what it's worth coming from such an obscure luthier?
MythSte Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 Your Quite right. I'll Offer it at what i paid for it. Will come with gigbag. I dont think anyone can argue with the price really? Ped had a tinkle last weekend and quite enjoyed it! Although i shall leave that to him! So there we have it, £550 no offers still entertaining trades for a 5 string
